Application of the optical fibre distributed temperature sensing method (OF DTS) to assess geothermal conditions
In 2024, the National Geological Institute - NRI and NORCE Norwegian Research Centre completed the project Optimization of Shallow Geothermal Energy Resources for Green Transition OptiSGE. The aim of the project was to strengthen the energy transition by applying and comparing research methods for assessing geothermal potential, which are important for the location of geothermal installations and the optimization of their technical parameters.
We are modernising and developing the national groundwater monitoring system
The Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PGI-NRI) has started a project called FEnIKS_Inwestycje (FEnIKS_Investments) to modernise and develop the national groundwater monitoring system.
We are modernising the Geo-environmental Map of Poland
